I believe you are misunderstanding me here, I'm not saying nhilistic is proven either but I wouldn't call camelot as a 'proven' either just cuz one game, especially not proven enough to give your most iconic character to them (found this game on a quick glance at mario wiki page as well, Hotel mario >_> ). it's not like Sony gave GT series to a small dev. Move heroes was a spin off casual title and Resistance is declining in popularity, so sony can in a sense can take a risk with them. I'm guessing similar scenario with MTennis (and I'm sure we can find other similar examples in ninty history). this is just business, nothing more nothing less. IF Nhilistic can actually put out a decent Resistance Vita game I expect to see more similar titles from then in coming years as well..if not meh it's the chance for another small dev to prove themselves I suppose

To be fair, Smash Bros started out as a long-shot comparatively low-budget game, but HAL Laboratories was a first-rate studio, and a first-rate studio at producing side-scrolling sorts of games. I've never even heard of Nihilistic.

And Sony does have the poor tendency to farm out iconic franchises to second-rate developers and thus kill them off. Hell, the entire problem with the PSP was that Sony had very few top-rank studios working on it (Sony Japan being one of a very short list), and it seems they are continuing to fall into that trap with Vita.

awww hellll noo :D I'm not getting into the debate about which first party devs worked on PSP games debate again..already had it twice....Sony had almost all their first party studios working on psp titles and that's all I will say on the matter.

and not sure who these second rate devs are..but devs like Ready @ dawn were absolutely amazing. they did good with Daxter so they got the chance to make a GOW game and they absolutely nailed it. and besides I wasn't even comparing Hal to Nhilistic...I was saying even Ninty have loaned out their iconic characters for smaller games in the past by smaller studios. it's just business and if Nhilistic proves them selves with Burning Skies (which is an IP Sony can take risks) they will get the chance to take on even bigger responsibilities in the future. time will tell.
